Man Utd Narrows Striker Search to Watkins, Sesko Amid Transfer Efforts
Manchester United has narrowed its search for a new centre-forward to two primary candidates: Aston Villa's Ollie Watkins and RB Leipzig's Benjamin Sesko. Watkins, a proven Premier League striker approaching 30, is seen as a short-term solution with a potential transfer fee around $55 million, though Aston Villa has so far resisted selling him. Sesko, a younger and less proven talent valued at approximately $95 million to $120 million, offers a longer-term option but comes with financial challenges and competition from Newcastle United. United’s pursuit of either striker is complicated by the need to offload several out-of-favor players, including Jadon Sancho, Antony, Alejandro Garnacho, and Tyrell Malacia, to raise funds and reduce the wage bill. The club has already invested heavily this summer with signings like Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo but still seeks to strengthen key positions, including a striker, defensive midfielder, and goalkeeper. The final decision remains pending as United weighs the cost, player profiles, and transfer negotiations amid a crucial rebuilding phase under manager Ruben Amorim.
